Hiya, everyone, I'm baaaack! I hope everyone is ready for another one
of my chapters! *pauses* Well, then again, you can never REALLY be
ready for one of my chapters... *shrugs* Ah, oh well.
Well, I said in the last chapter that I might be able to do more than
one chapter of Locker Love, and a one-parter. Heh heh, scratch out the
one-parter, but don't worry, I'll have at least two chapters of Locker
Love out. (Hopefully...)
As usual, my standard rule applies, so remember to email me please! I
absolutely LOVE all your nice comments about my fic! (And a couple of
fake threats to continue the story... *giggle* You know who you are,
but don't worry, I'm not angry.) But, unfortunately, minna, *sniffle*
I have not been getting much feedback. Sure, the people who DO email
me writes great comments (Arigato, you guys!) but I'm old news now.
*swerves around* Oops, heh heh, uh, I was thinking outloud again,
wasn't I? *sweatdrop*
Well, I think that's all. On with (bum bum ba bum) Locker Love chapter
4! MUAHAHAHA! (That's getting old...)
Disclaimer: Luckily for all those Sailor Moon characters, I don't own
Sailor Moon. (*looks at watch* Mamo-chan, hurry up and get here!)
~*~*~*~*
I sighed in the gentle kiss. "Endymion..."
*End dream*
I bolted up, and quickly scanned the room. Everything seemed to be OK.
I was very surprised, for I had thought I'd have that nightmare again.
Instead, I have some romantic dream with some guy named...
I squinted and scrunched up my eyebrows in thought. What was that name
I whispered at the end? Endymion? Strange name.
I was suddenly washed with feelings of recognition. I knew that name
from somewhere. It seemed very familiar.
I shook my head, laughing lightly at myself. 'Yeah, right, Usagi.' I
thought to myself. 'Like that could ever happen. A world with me as a
princess? Uh-huh.'
I blushed, thinking of the intimate kiss in my dream. It was so sweet.
I didn't mind this dream. So close and caring, it makes me want to cry
over a box of Milk Duds (AN: Mmm... Milk Duds...) like some romance
chic flick.
I fell onto my pillow again, with something nagging me in the corner
of my mind. Why did I have THIS dream, instead of the one with my
mother? It seemed weird, having the same dream for 2 months, then
suddenly switching to a pleasant *blush* dream that's completely
different. I stroked Luna's fur absently, with her purring softly
on my pillow, asleep in some dream with Artemis, I bet. *giggle*
I sighed, feeling very confused. There was something I couldn't put my
finger on, something important. I thought hard, trying to remember the
details.
"Ah ha!" I cried triumphantly, sitting up in bed so suddenly that Luna
went flying to the ground with a wail ("Mroooowwww!!!!!") and landed
with a small "THUMP".
Oops.
"Usagi!" Luna shrieked, then lowered her voice. "What are you doing?!
Waking me up in the middle of the night at," she glanced at my clock.
"2:15 in the morning! Usagi-baka, have some courtesy for others! I'M
trying to have a nice, peaceful sleep, when suddenly-"
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
"Mroooowwww!!!!!" Luna screeched, jumping a foot in the air, fur
bristling.
"You've GOT to stop that racket." I muttered, picking up my senshi
communication device. I pushed the blinking green button. "Moon Senshi
here."
"Sailor Moon!" Sailor Jupiter called. "Get to the Juuban Park, pronto!
From what I've heard, there's a giant youma there! Mercury and Mars
aren't holding out very well, and Venus and I are getting there as fast
as we can. Get over here!"
"Coming!" I said, clicking off the communication. I turned to Luna. "So
much for a nice, peaceful sleep, eh, Luna?"
If looks could kill...
~*~*~*~*
I was running towards the park, in this short fuku that isn't really
great for a jog. As I got closer, I could see the bright light of Jupiter's
lightning and the fire of Mars.
I hid behind a tree, observing the scene. The senshi were hurt badly,
and the youma looked like a cross between Einstein and Frankenstein.
It was carrying some lab testing tubes and wore these weird glasses.
(AN: Picture Umino's glasses. Yup, those swirly ones. *groan*) It was
throwing out some shiny liquid shaped in a discus. It looked like my
friends needed the help of *strikes a dramatic pose* Sailor Moon!
I jumped into a nearby tree, and hopped gracefully in front of my
beaten senshi friends. "How dare you hurt my friends? Prepare to be dusted!" I
spotted a giant ball of... something, coming towards me. Whatever it
was, it didn't look very friendly. I ducked out of the way, with a quick,
"EEK!"
"Cut the pep talk, Moon." Mars called from the ground, injured from the
youma's attack. "Just dust it, I was in the middle of meditating."
"Yeah, yeah, don't rush me." I muttered. "What is this stuff, Mercury?"
I called to her over my shoulder, dodging here and there.
"I think it's some kind of dangerous substance, made up of different
harmful chemicals and a couple a life-or-death gases if it touches you.
Oh, and this is a real youma, not one of those nijizuishou youmas, so
DO NOT use your healing attack."
"Oh, great, that makes me feel better." I said, my fear of this icky
silvery stuff coming at me growing. I hopped, jumped, dodged, "Ahh!",
and practically did the chicken dance, trying to avoid this stuff.
I saw a streak of silver that came hurtling towards me, and I knew I
could never dodge in time. "Oh, Kami-sama..." I mumbled, wide-eyed,
frozen at the sight.
With a smooth swoosh of red and green, a red rose was embedded in the
ground, the silver discus dissolving. I let out my breath that I didn't
realize I was holding in. "Tuxedo Kamen..."
In a flash, a tall man in a sleek black tuxedo, a white mask, a black
top hat to finish it off, surrounded with a mysterious aura, stood in
front of me, silent as the night. He started to talk in a deep, quiet
voice. "As delicate as a rose petal, the inner and outer beauty of one
is something fragile. You attempted to hurt this one, and for that you
shall pay."
I blushed at his speech (the ones that I can NEVER understand), and
stared dreamily at the man before me.
Oh, I've never told you about Tuxedo Kamen, have I? He's a mysterious
guy who shows up every time when the senshi and I are in trouble. He helps
us, but Luna, Artemis, and the other senshi don't trust him. Well, except
Rei. She and I- er, I mean, only REI has a humongous crush on the secretive
character. OK, maybe I do too, but he's so cute!
I snapped out of my thoughts, hearing the smooth voice of Tuxedo Kamen.
"Sailor Moon, go for it."
"Right!" I pulled out my scepter, waving it around with shimmering dust
falling from the wand's trail. "MOON PRINCESS HALATION!"
The youma burst into a blinding white light, yelling at the top of its
lungs. It finally exploded, the night air becoming still yet again.
"Whew!" I said, wiping my forehead to emphasize my point. I turned
around.
"Arigato, Tux-" He was gone. I frowned sadly, wishing he would stay
after a battle instead of running away. I walked over to my friends.
"Good job, Sailor Moon." Venus said as I pulled her up. She winced a
little, and I made a concerned face. "Ah, goshinpainaku, Moonie. All of
us fell down" she winced again, touching her shoulder. "When trying to
dodge the substance."
"Hai, Usagi-chan," Makoto jumped in. "We just fell down. We can handle
a few scratches." Right then, Ami stumbled, her leg very battered, Rei
yelped, Ami falling on her, and Makoto sweatdropped. "Heh heh, as I
said, we're all fine, right minna?" Groans and moans replied.
"Uh-huh, right, sure, GO TO YOUR ROOMS!" I yelled at them. "You guys
are hurt, and you ALL should go to bed and get a good night's rest!"
"Yes, mother." Rei said sarcastically.
"Yes, SIR! Er, MA'AM!" Minako said, saluting me.
~*~*~*~*
I was walking home, after quickly directing the senshi STRAIGHT to
their homes, thinking about the dream, and the little clue I had realized
before the battle.
Hey, I never got to tell you, did I? Well, I realized that... cookie
dough was good. *sweatdrop* No, that's not it, joke, joke, just a little
joke. Well, after carefully examining the dream at every angle, being the
genius I am (AN: *snort*), I realized that this Endymion guy looked a
lot like... Mamoru.
Actually, come to think of it, they could pass for identical twins. I
laughed inwardly at that, the thought of the baka being a prince who
would kiss me, much less kiss me, was impossible.
SNAP.
I whirled around. What was that? I looked around the shadowy street,
not finding anything. I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at the patch of trees
next to the road. Was I imagining things, or did those leaves rustle
when there wasn't a single breeze tonight? I tensed, sensing someone, or
something, watching me. I shivered in fear, and quickly sped home.
I crept into my house quietly, sneaking up to my room, where I found
Luna sleeping peacefully. I rolled my eyes, and smiled affectionately at
her, forgetting all about the events that just took place. I yawned. All I
cared about now was sleep and how comfy my bed looked all of the sudden.
I slipped into a pair of snugly warm PJ's, and crawled next to Luna. I
slept without any dreams until dawn.

eventful!
